Chapter 60 Snape's Threat
·
Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
There was still a little time before dinner, but the British winter nights always came very early. Before five o'clock, it was already difficult to see the road in the distance without lights.
So Tver placed a fluorescent spell to guide the way, allowing the students who were still unfinished to return to the castle as soon as possible.
And he made some small changes to this place, reducing the venue by half, and also arranged a little ghost magic.
After doing all this, he walked leisurely back to the brightly lit castle.
But after entering the castle gate, I met an unexpected person.
In other words, someone was waiting for him on purpose.
"ell, isn't this our beloved Professor Welfare?"
Snape stood sideways at the dim door, half of his body buried in the shadows, only revealing his face with a mocking smile and his cold eyes.
Tver was startled, and such a strange sound suddenly came out, and he almost pulled out his wand.
"Well loved, I can't say, but at least Professor Snape is a little busier than staying here so comfortably." He stuffed his wand back into his robe pocket.
Then he straightened his robes and looked at each other with a smile.
Snape sneered, not caring about Tweel's sarcasm.
"I'm very curious. Although he only teaches three grades, why is Professor Welfare so busy? He disappeared since yesterday morning and only shows up now?"
There was still a smile on his lips, but his eyes were a little more ruthless. It seemed that if Tver's answer didn't satisfy him, he would pull out the wand in the next second.
Tweel glanced at Snape unexpectedly, not expecting that he would also be on Snape's suspicion list.
Couldn't it be that fool Quirrell who brought him here?
"Unlike the Potions class, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class always needs to prepare some animals for teaching purposes, so I went to the Forbidden Forest to search. Is there any problem?"
Snape glanced around Turver's body, and finally landed on his empty hands, "What about the animals?"
"Dead." Tver said with a smile of course, but it looked a little weird under the light of the torch.
Snape's smile disappeared immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a small step forward, just in the place where the light shone, but it also blocked the light on Tver's face.
"I think you should know who you are, so don't do anything suspicious."
"Thanks for reminding me. I think I'm not that outrageous compared to you, Professor Snape, right?"
His eyes were no longer cold, but full of amusement, and then he leaned down and whispered:
"I don't know what you are doing, and I don't want to care about your collusion with Quirrell, but once you let me know your ulterior motives, I won't mind adding a little truth serum to your dinner."
"Exactly, I also want to taste the taste of Veritaserum," Tver replied in a relaxed voice, "But you have to be careful, I'm afraid I will say something that the students will not accept."
"For example, about you and the Dark Lord."
Snape's eyes suddenly hardened. With Dumbledore's guarantee, he was certainly not afraid of the original incident being exposed.
But his behavior in school must be restricted, and it would be unacceptable if it undermined the tasks he must perform.
So he glared at Tver fiercely and his voice became louder.
"I don't care what you know, if you dare to violate it -" But then his face turned to the corner of the corridor in an instant, "Who is there?!"
Less than a second later, three little bean-like figures came out from the corner.
"Uh," Harry said hesitantly, "Professors, we just finished dinner, so come over here, um..."
"Digestion!"
Ron answered loudly, nodded confidently, and pretended to pat his round belly, as if to add credibility to his words.
Hermione couldn't stand it anymore and tugged on the back of his clothes, "Stop talking, Snape's eyes can already kill you!"
"If no one has taught you etiquette, you can ask the troll from Halloween. He has a lot to teach you."
Snape said sarcastically, "Five points for each of you!"
He glanced at Tver one last time before striding away angrily.
The third Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, I am used to being deducted points. Although this time it was a bit too much, it was not short of these fifteen points.
"Three test papers," Tver said suddenly as he looked at them with a smile, "Three papers for each person, complete it before the end of next week, otherwise your Christmas gift will be a set of test papers, enough for you to make it to the end of the school year. "
Not only Snape, he was also careless.
Although there was a factor of physical drowsiness, the increase in strength this time made him a little carried away.
As a person who has high demands on himself, he does not allow such low-level mistakes.
He handed them nine papers and left.
He was still thinking about dinner, so he might as well go to bed first.
Just doing this made Harry and the others grimace.
Hermione looked through the paper. The content on it was not that simple, and there were many discussion topics.
She didn't care, she even wanted to receive the professor's Christmas gift, but Harry and Ron couldn't stand it.
"Three papers, that's too many!" As soon as Tweel left, Harry looked at the papers in his hand and complained immediately.
Ron sighed, "Forget it, the worst we can do is make one for each of us. The way Professor Welfare looked like just now, I didn't even dare to ask for mercy!"
"This is the first time I've heard of papers being done after class. The professor will definitely not leave any loopholes for us." Hermione shook her head and showed them the questions on the papers.
"Moreover," she glanced cautiously at the direction the professor was leaving, "This is also the first time I have seen the professor so angry. Are the two of them here discussing something important?"
"That goes without saying!" Ron shouted angrily.
"Snape must have forced the professor to steal that thing, and then the professor disappeared all day long!"
Harry nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Snape also reminded the professor to pay attention to his identity. Maybe the professor was caught with something and was driven by Snape!"
Hermione looked at the two indignant friends with suspicion.
The professor's attitude just now clearly didn't sound like he was being threatened. How could these two men figure out so many things?
However, she had no more reasonable explanation, so she could only say noncommittally: "The most important thing for us right now is to find out who Nico Flamel is."
"And what happened to Professor Welfare!" Ron solemnly emphasized.
"...Okay, if possible, investigate the professor's background." Hermione said helplessly.
"Then help the professor solve it!"
"..."
So Tver placed a fluorescent spell to guide the way, allowing the students who were still unfinished to return to the castle as soon as possible.
And he made some small changes to this place, reducing the venue by half, and also arranged a little ghost magic.
